House was perfect! Great detail, and she was happy to offer ideas and make changes to drawings all the way through the project. I would give Jen my highest recommendation and would definitely use her services again. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thank you so much Steve for your wonderful review. I'm glad you had a good experience and thank you for posting pictures of your beautiful home. Your project was a lot of fun to work on and I'm so happy to see how it turned out! **★★★★★ — nzazzaro, Aug. 2016** > Jenni is a talented architect and was a pleasure to work with. She showed great attention to detail. Her collaborative approach and patience led to a beautiful finish product that totally reflected my vision. Her insight and conceptual ideas were key to the success of the project. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thank you Nancy for your kind words and I'm so happy it was a good experience! It was a lot of fun to see your design evolve and was quite a design challenge at times, but I'm so happy you were able to get the design you wanted within your budget. I look forward to seeing the finished house this spring! **★★★★★ — marya\_mahoney, Aug. 2016** > My husband and I met Jennifer ("Jenni") at the home show in Hartford this past winter and we immediately hit it off. Jenni welcomed us into her booth space and we quickly ascertained that she is a very organized and well-prepared professional. We explained to Jenni that we are looking to build a new home, that we had scoured the internet for a base plan and that we found one that we were generally interested in, but that it needed to be modified. Jenni took the time to explain her process to us (and had a great take-home sheet which reiterated the key points) and discuss the specifics of modifying an existing plan. We contacted Jenni following the home show and within a few days, we had a consultation meeting and she provided us with a cost estimate to perform the services in which we were interested. We engaged her at the consultation, as we were very comfortable that we were dealing with a true professional in the architectural field who not only exhibited to us that she knows her craft, but also that she listens, thinks about things in a very practical way, works with an eye toward overall project budget and is up front about expressing her concerns or opinions if she thinks a client is straying down the impractical pathway. Jenni is a pleasure to work with and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. There were a couple of instances in which plans were turned around a couple of days later than expected, however, Jenni was good about communicating when this was the case. From a financial perspective, one of the things that we liked about working with Jenni is that she charges on a per hour basis for her services (and provides estimates of hours to complete a task) instead of working on a fixed fee basis. Our overall experience with Jenni was very positive; we have a great house plan and she came in under the original cost estimate! We would not hesitate to recommend Jenni. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thank you so much Marya for your wonderfully detailed review and I'm so happy you had such a great experience. I know how overwhelming the process can be and we took it step by step, coming up with something really beautiful in the end. Your project was such a fun experience because you guys were very decisive about your needs for this house, so you made my job easier! I look forward to seeing the end result when you build! **★★★★★ — kdpeck, Aug. 2016** > Brought Jennifer our ideas for a major living room, kitchen and dining room remodel and she quickly turned them into professional drawings we could give a GC. She also recommended a GC which worked out great for us. We would certainly use her services again. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thanks Keith for your wonderful review and input on this project. You had great ideas for this renovation from the start and I have to say that this kitchen/dining project will always be one of my favorites from a before/after standpoint. I'm so happy it was a great experience for you as well! **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2016** > When we planned to build our dream home in a retirement community, we had chosen three floor plans...one had the "almost perfect" great room with a wall of windows; another with the perfect kitchen with island, laundry, wet bar, pantry and powder room, as well as a stairway to the basement; and yet another with a master suite and guest wing we loved, but it required several changes in dimensions. We also had no idea of what type of elevation would work with the look we wanted to achieve. We had researched Architects, and were very impressed with Jennifer Morgenthau's work and experience. Not only was she able to "work her magic" as we call it...to combine the three floor plans into the perfect plan for us...but she also designed a front elevation that took our breath away! Additionally, Jenni made many design suggestions along the way to help us envision our decorating ideas. To sum it up, we feel so fortunate to have found Jenni, and highly recommend her for any project you plan to undertake. Ron & Kay **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thanks so much Ron & Kay for your kind words and I'm so happy you were so pleased with the end result. Your project was a wonderful "puzzle" for me to solve, combining three floor plans into one, and I truly believe what we came up with was very special. I loved your taste in design style and it was a departure from previous house designs, which was so refreshing for me! I look forward to seeing photos of the finished house! **★★★★★ — nmariano55, June 2016** > From my initial contact with Jennifer through the finished design, I found her to be very easy to communicate with and timely with correspondence and the completed design project. While our project was not large, it required Jennifer to work with our vision as well as factory made components and lastly our budget. We are very pleased with our finished project and highly recommend Jennifer for other projects. > > Nancy > Condomium Executive Board **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thanks so much Nancy for your wonderful review and I'm so happy you were satisfied with your design. While it was definitely an atypical project, it was fun to think outside the box on this one! Small projects are just as important as large ones. **★★★★★ — brandi\_killoran, March 2016** > As a small business owner, having talented people help you to achieve your vision is essential to great success. Our experience working with Jenni has been great. To say she is talented is and understatement. She has the ability to think outside of the box and present innovative design ideas that can be implemented without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend her for commercial projects as well as residential. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thanks so much Brandi for your kind words and I'm so happy you and your company have been so pleased with my designs and ideas over the years. Your projects are always something I enjoy designing and I look forward to continuing our work together in the future! **★★★★★ — kmartpa, March 2016** > We've used Jenni on a previous project and were so impressed we decided to use her architectural services for our new-home build. She was once again great to work with. She's knowledgeable, easily reachable for any questions/clarifications, and fairly priced. I would highly recommend her to others, and will use her on future projects. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thanks so much Mary Ann & Ted for your wonderful review and I'm thrilled that you are repeat clients! Both of your new homes are two of my favorite projects I've worked on and I love your fresh ideas in terms of design. Always very practical with such wonderful style! I look forward to photographing your new house in the spring! **★★★★★ — judsonchiro, March 2016** > Jennifer was the design architect for our new home. It was a seamless perfect experience. After designing our office building and being misrepresented by our previous Archtect, we were doubtful. Jenny was HONEST, professional and fun to work with. Changes in plans were welcomed; thank goodness because designing a home for five kids was interesting. Thank you Zjenny for renewing our faith in architects and for designing our beautiful home. **Comment from Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC:** > Thank you Tammy & Steve for your kind words and I can't tell you how happy I am to have given you such a great experience! Your project is still one of my all time favorites for so many reasons. Wonderful design, beautiful style and it's the face of my business (website and business cards). It was so much fun to live vicariously during your project because I love the craftsman feel of the design so much! Gorgeous home! ## Selected projects - [Wethersfield Neo-traditional Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wethersfield-neo-traditional-custom-home-pj-vj~63778) - Location: Wethersfield, CT - Photos: 39 - Description: New 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 2,800 SF custom home in Wethersfield, CT designed by Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC. - [Hillsborough Contemporary Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillsborough-contemporary-lake-house-pj-vj~1558878) - Location: Hillsboro, NH - Photos: 5 - Description: New 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 2,500 SF custom home in Hillsborough, NH designed by Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC. - [Wethersfield Craftsman Inspired Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wethersfield-craftsman-inspired-custom-home-pj-vj~63703) - Location: Wethersfield, CT - Photos: 21 - Description: New 5 bedroom, 4-1/2 bath, 4,500 SF custom home in Wethersfield, CT designed by Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC. - [Old Saybrook Gambrel Style Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-saybrook-gambrel-style-home-pj-vj~1630553) - Location: Old Saybrook, CT - Photos: 5 - [Ivoryton Craftsman Style Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ivoryton-craftsman-style-kitchen-pj-vj~1558901) - Location: Old Saybrook, CT - Photos: 4 - Description: Featured kitchen in a new 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 2,500 SF custom home in Ivoryton, CT designed by Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC. - [Wethersfield Traditional Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wethersfield-traditional-custom-home-pj-vj~1558865) - Location: Wethersfield, CT - Photos: 7 - Description: New 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 2,800 SF custom home in Wethersfield, CT designed by Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC. - [Newington Small Simple Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newington-small-simple-custom-home-pj-vj~1558912) - Location: Newington, CT - Photos: 7 - Description: New 3 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath, 1,800 SF custom home in Newington, CT designed by Jennifer Morgenthau Architect, LLC. - [Old Saybrook - Connecticut Beach Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-saybrook-connecticut-beach-home-pj-vj~1630547) - Location: Old Saybrook, CT - Photos: 9 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/jennifer-morgenthau-architect-llc-pfvwus-pf~1006677737) ## Ideabooks - [Old Saybrook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20571704/list/old-saybrook) — 4 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jkmorgen) ## Community Q&A **Q: Beautiful Portico** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello Jennifer, I am interested in having a simple clean line portico designed for my home in Elmont, NY.
